From a certain day, the atmosphere in the Golden Castle became unsettled.

Though no one could speak of it, everyone suspected that something had changed right after Triton and Livia returned from Demeter’s feast.

More eyes were watching the sea, and the influence of the goddesses who foretold fate grew stronger. Those above the sea rolled their eyes and strained their ears more diligently than usual to explore beneath the waters, but piercing through the water’s veil wasn’t easy.

Nevertheless, suspicious droplets riding the wind penetrated through these unsettled currents and diligently settled in the deep sea.

The bubbling droplets strained to seep into the black crevices of the deep sea where ancient beings were sealed. Whatever these droplets stimulated, afterward, an ominous current rose from the deep sea.

Humans might not know well, but there were certain ‘flows’ in the ocean. From cold places to hot places, or from hot places to cold places…

These ‘currents,’ like winds beneath the sea, served as guideposts for not only fish but all things living underwater.

For them, these becoming tangled was nothing short of a disaster, but the current rising from the deep sea did exactly this. Fish lost their direction, and the number of creatures meeting unnecessary deaths due to entangled water temperatures increased.

Due to these meaningless deaths, anxiety grew among the life forms dwelling in the sea.

Accordingly, the main forces of the Golden Castle became busy. Not only the Tritones who served as Triton’s eyes and ears throughout the seas, but also Actius and Dugong had to move without rest.

Because of this, Triton also frequently went out, but Livia had no time to feel his absence.

“Ah, ugh…! Aahng!”

Watching her legs swaying above Triton’s shoulders with blurry eyes, Livia felt strange.

The current situation of panting while tightly taking two members in her wet passage suddenly made no sense to her.

Her ankle was bound so she couldn’t go outside, and passing boring time with the sharks only happened once or twice. When she fell asleep from listlessness, Triton would be by her side, though she didn’t know when he had entered.

This ill-mannered sea god seemed to know no proper way to wake sleeping Livia, instead greeting her each time by piercing her womanhood.

“It’s quite chaotic outside, Livia. Thanks to that, your husband is very busy too…”

Who knows where he picked up the word ‘husband,’ but whenever he had the chance, he would whisper things like ‘lord’ or ‘spouse’ or ‘husband’ – words that only humans would use – against her ear.

When she reacted with startled embarrassment and confusion, he seemed displeased with her response and made it even more of a habit afterward. He was truly a man with a strange personality.

“Wait, T-Triton… conversation, hng, we need to talk… ahck!”

“Sorry… ha. I don’t have much time right now… if I don’t at least stir up your insides before I go, I don’t think I’ll have any strength… okay?”

“Ah, yes! Nngh! W-what are you say… aahh!”

“Yes, Livia. Your god is here. Haah…. Here, inside your p*ssy.”

Panting, Livia gasped again and covered his mouth.

Though she tried to cover it with her hand, he eagerly sucked on her fingers, so if she was going to cover his mouth, it would have been better to pull his neck close and kiss him from the start.

“Ung, mm….”

His cool tongue delved deep into her throat, thoroughly wet with saliva. Livia’s breathing grew more rapid at the sensation of his tongue rubbing against her palate and throat as if stirring her lower regions.

Triton didn’t miss that moment. He forcefully pushed his member, which had been merely rubbing against her thin inner walls, deep inside Livia.

“Haap…!”

Livia’s mind, which had tried to have a conversation with Triton, became a mess pickled in pleasure. She couldn’t even remember what she had wanted to talk about with him.

‘Ah, no…. I need to remember. It was something, very important.’

Just as her thoughts were about to deepen, he changed positions. Holding both her legs in his arms and placing them on one shoulder, he thrust his hips into her womanhood with a thud.

“…Ah! Aah! Ahng!”

Livia’s entire body vibrated from the force pounding up against her gathered thighs. At the same time, his second member writhing inside Livia’s flesh released a faint current, squeezing her pleasure.

Tears streamed down Livia’s eyes at the sharp pleasure that flowed through her entire body, crossing over her womb.

Triton, who had been pushing his member in without restraint, tickled the bottom of Livia’s tensed feet as if kissing them while whispering intimately.

“Just now, haah, you seemed to be thinking of something else, Livia?”

“Yes! Haa, ung…! Ngh! Ah, no… hnnng!”

Her highly sensitized foot was sucked into his mouth. Livia’s inner walls squeezed strangely at his sucking without a moment’s hesitation. A rough sigh escaped through Triton’s teeth.

“Is my f*cking so unremarkable that you can think of other things? Hmm?”

His hip movements, whispering in a gentle voice while randomly thrusting and stirring Livia’s insides, were rough enough to seem cruel.

Livia, clutching the sheets, shook her head urgently and clung to him.

“No, no no. Stop, ahck! T-Triton… this, I don’t, don’t want…!”

With each movement of the two members along with the tingling current, something kept welling up from below. Her whole body stiffened, seemingly becoming paralyzed, and her repeatedly pierced insides grew limp and lost strength, then.

“…Hnng!”

Livia’s tightly closed eyes flew open. Her womanhood, entangled with Triton’s member, twitched and convulsed before lukewarm fluid burst forth between her thighs like a flood.

“Hic! Ngh…! Haack…!”

Triton, tightly embracing Livia’s writhing body, laughed roughly while forcefully thrusting his member into her p*ssy that tried to contract.

Lightning struck before Livia’s eyes. Far from thinking, she had to struggle just to not faint. Triton’s beautiful face hung in her flickering, blurry vision.

He was kissing all over Livia’s small feet while stroking her thighs. Though his gaze was full of love for anyone to see, it was somehow strange and suspicious.

At the same time, a bright red light showed on his chest below the shoulder where Livia’s legs were hooked. The light of a heart as red as if it had swallowed the sunset…

“Ah, Triton…. Tri…ton.”

The consciousness she had barely been holding onto completely evaporated thanks to Triton moving his hips, rubbing her passage. Livia, grasping the edge of her fading consciousness, moved her trembling lips.

“I, with you… have something to… something I must tell you….”

“Livia.”

Triton whispered while holding Livia close and gently stroking her waist.

“I’ll be away for a while. You, make sure to sleep well during that time.”

Triton’s kisses showered down along the line from her neck to her shoulder. As if it wasn’t enough even though he had already left his marks all over her neck, he thoroughly licked and sucked every inch of Livia’s skin.

She wanted to ask where he was going, but Livia, who had already stepped into the cliff of deep sleep, couldn’t continue speaking.

The warmth that had become lukewarm from mixing Livia’s high body temperature with Triton’s cool temperature held her tightly. Finding that temperature, which was moderately warm and moderately cool, pleasant, she pressed her cheek against his chest.

“…I also, have something to…”

…say.

Though she stubbornly mumbled, her consciousness had already completely fallen to the other side.

“Next time, Livia. Next time.”

“Mm….”

To prevent Livia’s consciousness from climbing back up from the edge of the cliff, Triton stroked her back until she fell asleep while holding her small body.

***

Actius looked around the Golden Castle with a tense face.

The most beautiful and magnificent castle under the sea, the center of Atlantis…. And in its deepest, most private place.

There slept Triton’s ‘treasure.’

That the ‘precious thing’ that appeared to the king who had never found anything precious would be a ‘human’ – this must have been something none of the ten thousand soldiers gathered before his eyes now had expected.

‘No, no one in the world could have expected this.’

It was truly surprising, but on the other hand, it also felt like something that had been foretold.

That must be why words like mermaids shouldn’t love humans and what happens when a sea god falls in love had been floating around for hundreds and thousands of years.

‘…Was this destined? Or did the cursed words floating around for thousands of years finally make it this way.’

Though he couldn’t know which came first, the fact remained that their god had already crossed an irreversible river of love.

Therefore, what his loyal subjects and soldiers needed to do was ensure this ancient legendary love never became real.

To do their best to overcome the curse so that the king’s heart could be purely connected through love, not curse. That was all…

As he was looking up at the castle with grave eyes, Triton, who had thoroughly hidden his mate in the deepest part of that place, finally came out through the castle gates.
